This is false. My last two roles were both initiated by 3rd-party recruiters.
- georgyo 10y agoYes, it is possible to get hired with the use of 3rd-party recruiters, but it is still not in your benefit. If they never got people hired, then they wouldn't make money and even try. If you don't have any way for companies to target you themselves, then 3rd party recruiters might be more effective the you targeting companies directly yourself. However, if you are in the boat where you are getting many recruiter emails a week, my advice is sound. They are all junk, and the only way to get any signal to noise is to look for ones directly from the company doing the hiring.
